Don't Cry Mystery Socks

I tried the July Mystery pattern again, only this time with a worsted weight yarn (Paton's Aran)







and 3.5mm needles... and intentionally tried to not give the grip of death...

heres sock #1 done, and #2 is on the needles....

Im thinking of dip-dyeing these....

Cry Baby, Cry

Ive finished my Mystery pattern for July's Sockamaniac sockalong.... I used koigu, 2.25mm, toe-up, 2x2 rib over the instep, did one of those backward flap heels (wont do it again), then 4 repeats of the pattern 3 times, and 2x2 ribbing.

Lace on tiny needles HURTS.
